- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.5 splendid one-handed leaping return catch finally breaks the stand! Harper charged down the pitch trying to chip this through the leg side but gets a leading edge that balloons up over Short, who takes a step back before leaping up with his right hand outstretched and is able to clutch on in theatrical fashion. 65/114.5 flights this more on middle and off, goes to sweep and misses, the stumps light up. Stock legbreak this time mixed in as the surprise ball. 114/313.2 leg-stump half-volley flicked straight to Weatherald at deep backward square leg. Both boundary riders for the Power Surge were on the leg side rope and Fraser-McGurk falls into the trap to end a lackluster innings. Catch taken at head height two yards inside the rope. 92/217.4 slower ball full and wide, goes to drive over cover but instead slices a thick edge to short third man on the ring, taken on his haunches at chest height. 142/418.5 slower length ball on off stump, Nabi goes to slice this over cover but instead gets a thick edge to short third man on the ring. Easy catch for Worrall at chest height. 146/717.6 slower ball full on off stump, Sutherland is through the shot early trying to chip this into mid-on and a leading edge floats up gently to extra cover on the ring. Short charges forward to take a catch at waist height in stride. 142/518.3 slower length ball on middle, charges Siddle but miscues this badly to long-on. Simple catch taken 10 yards inside the rope crouching down to get his eyes in line for a head high catch. 144/619.4 you guessed it, another slower ball... sent down on a good length on the body, mistimed pull picks out deep midwicket three yards inside the rope for a simple catch. 151/919.2 getting to be a broken record now. Slower ball again, full and wide, goes to drive down the ground but a thick edge flutters to short third man, diving catch taken by Agar moving to his left at short third man. 149/8Extras12 (lb 6, w 6)TOTAL153/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-65 (Sam Harper, 8.5 ov), 2-92 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 13.2 ov), 3-114 (Mackenzie Harvey, 14.5 ov), 4-142 (James Seymour, 17.4 ov), 5-142 (Will Sutherland, 17.6 ov), 6-144 (Jonathan Merlo, 18.3 ov), 7-146 (Mohammad Nabi, 18.5 ov), 8-149 (Kane Richardson, 19.2 ov), 9-151 (James Pattinson, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 early candidate for catch of the tournament on night three! Zahir flights this full to induce a slog sweep for cow corner. Fraser-McGurk shows he might be better off playing basketball than cricket. He leaps above the rim like he's about to throw down an alley-top and clutches on to a magnificent one-handed catch two yards inside the rope. Incredible hang-time to get that catch. Julius Erving would be proud. 50/24.6 quicker ball skids through on fourth stump, Short goes back to punch through cover but gets a thin edge and its well held by the keeper standing up to the stumps. 45/113.1 slower length ball slammed flat to Harvey at cow corner. A far less theatrical effort than Fraser-McGurk in the same spot earlier. But an important catch nonetheless taken at chest height a yard inside the rope. Five yards either side and its thudding into the LCD ad boards for six. 96/410.4 flighted full on middle and leg, spins in as Wells plays across the line with a flick to midwicket. Big lbw shout upheld. Looked like it was spinning past leg live and the replay indicates something similar. Hmmmm.... 84/313.5 slower ball full on middle, flicked into the leg side. 100/415.2 yorker speared in outside leg stump. Garton misses a flick and it caroms off the pads and onto the stumps. This was missing the stumps but Sutherland gets a slice of good fortune with the redirection. 111/517.4 full on fourth stump, Rashid tries to helicopter whip this over mid-on but instead drives it flat to mid-off on the ring, taken at chest height. 131/618.4 126 kph slower length ball on fifth stump, goes to cut this and is through the shot too early to drag on. 140/719.2 slower ball lands full on fifth stump, Agar backed away for a leg side heave and toes this high over extra cover. Simple catch inside the ring by Nabi. 145/8Extras9 (lb 1, w 8)TOTAL151/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Matthew Short, 4.6 ov), 2-50 (Jake Weatherald, 6.2 ov), 3-84 (Jonathan Wells, 10.4 ov), 4-96 (Harry Nielsen, 13.1 ov), 4-100* (Ryan Gibson, retired not out ), 5-111 (George Garton, 15.2 ov), 6-131 (Rashid Khan, 17.4 ov), 7-140 (Daniel Worrall, 18.4 ov), 8-145 (Wes Agar, 19.2 ov)
